Slowly but surely, the archives of the British rock legends Queen but times have to be emptied

But before that happens, expect the tilted fan with Hungarian Rhapsody another digital reworking. On display there is the concert of 27 July 1986 at the Budapest Népstadion (now Ferenc Puskás Stadium) before 80,000 frenetic fans. The gig was at that time the first stadium rock concert a western band in the Soviet bloc and thus quite a sensation. As a tribute thereto Queen even played the Hungarian folksong Tavaszi Szél Vizet Áraszt. For the first time came out the back in 1987 on VHS and laserdisc.

The image quality was already better than a couple of years later released Live at Wembley 86 of the same tour because the material was recorded on 35mm film and not video. For the DVD release could additionally improve the image. Also the sound is very good. Live the atmosphere of that time is Powerful and well-controlled transfer into the living room. The video control focused in the large mainly due to the action on stage. The audience you do not get so often to face what perhaps it is because the concert, unlike at Wembley, was held from the outset in the dark, which provides for an increase in atmosphere.

However, a real highlight is the band itself. Here playful mood is extremely large and also Freddie Mercury wrote is vocally in fine form, playing very gallant with the audience and obviously enjoys it to the fullest, to play in front of such a large crowd. Between the songs you get even again some impressions of the band members around to see around the concert, which is nice in itself, but the river is somewhat annoying. The pity is that the concert also in this version is again not entirely, but only in the famous 90-minute version. So lacking among others the song Another one bites the dust, and a large part of Crazy Little Thing Called Love. Nevertheless, one is happy to see the performance now in full digital glory.

As a bonus you get on DVD and BluRay the 25-minute film A magic year. Entitled according to the band is accompanied here around one year - from the appearance at Live Aid, on the participation in the film Highlander and the consequential album A Kind of Magic, until the next stadium tour and the common final concert at Knebworth Park on. 9 August 1986. This is nice to look at, but also not much more than a nice bonus. Those who wish can also draw on the deluxe editions. There, the Budapest concert is an excellent audio version on CD. Here's the first time contains the complete concert.

At the end arises then only the question: Do we need another queen DVD? Probably not. But nevertheless, this is a beautiful publication of a strong concert, which wrote in a sense, rock history!
